Little Babies Hatching

Featured Replies

Posted

Hey all,

 

My pairs have started laying and now the chicks are starting to hatch, I have one box with 2 babies at the moment and another with 2 babies. The first box bred last season but then a disease hit and unfortuantly lost the babies that had brown wing markings and a lot of breeding stock. My second box has the mum that has bred quite regularly but a new male that I purchased recently. The babies range from just over a week till just hatching. Here are some pics of them:

Hey,

The babies are going great, there were 13 but 2 have died to a inexperienced mother. The 2 oldest have turned into a violet and normal green, possibly split for ino. There is 1 blue opaline, 1 yellow blue pied, 1 blue and green and 1 cinnamon sky blue. These are still very young and hard to get the correct colors.

 

 

This is the blue and green one, this was taken about 1 week ago and it has now grown and started gaining feathers. I have no pictures of it now

Glad your chicks are doing well. I try to get pics of chicks in nest but they move around so much all I get is blurred images l.o.l. :P
